I have had a number of ongoing complaints about the state of both the road surface and the footway [”pavement”] surfaces on Melbourne Avenue, Dronfield Woodhouse. Derbyshire County Council still refuse to do anything significant about the road but they are proposing to “reconstruct” the footway in the next 12 months at a cost of £40,000

 The Conservatives have recently been making a great deal of noise about the need to compensate people who lose out as a result of Labour’s decision to double the 10p income tax starter rate. But they refused to support a compensation package when one was proposed last year. In June 2007, in the House of Commons, after the tax rise was first announced, the Liberal Democrats and a small group of Labour backbenchers proposed an amendment to the Government’s Finance Bill which would have made the Government compensate those people on low incomes who would end up paying more under Labour’s tax grab plans. Where were the Conservatives? “We cannot support it,” said Conservative spokesperson Theresa Villiers MP during the parliamentary debate. Only one Conservative MP voted for compensation, and he has since resigned from the party!  The Conservatives only woke up to this issue and started making a fuss this year, after the changes came in, when they saw the press were interested in it. More than a year after the Liberal Democrats first raised the issue.

Change of Use form shop (A1) to hot food takeaway (A5) (Conservation Area) at

We did not have any elections here in Dronfield yesterday but our near neighbours the LIBDEMs in Sheffield made 6 gains and now control the Council. One of the gains was the last Tory seat (Dore and Totley). Just as in Dronfield, Tory Councillors kept Labour in power for 4 years from 2003 to 2007 so did the sole Tory in Sheffield last year. Congratulation also to the LIBDEMs in Derby who gained 5 seats to become the largest party.
